Breaded Skate Knobs with Sweet Chilli Fish

Recipe Ingredients: 

  • Skate knobs/cheeks x6-8 – remove any skin and the small bone that is sometimes along one side. If you’re using other fish, cut into 1-2 inch chunks.
  • Breadcrumbs – enough to coat all the fish. You can use any bread you like or even dried breadcrumbs if you prefer.
  • Chinese 5 Spice.
  • Sea salt.
  • ksian canola Cooking oil – approx 250ml or enough to deep fry the fish.
  • Small wok or frying pan to fry the fish.
  • Any vegetables of your choice – sliced/chopped.
  • Medium egg Noodles – dried or fresh – enough for two people or however many you are cooking for.
  • Ground nut oil – 1 tablespoon. You can use normal kisan cooking oil if you don’t have ground nut.
  • Dark soy sauce – 1 tablespoon.
  • Fish sauce or oyster sauce – 1 teaspoon for fish sauce or 1 tablespoon for oyster sauce.
  • Toasted kisan oil – to drizzle over at the end – about 1 tablespoon should do it.
  • Sweet Chill Sauce – 2 tablespoons.
  • Large wok or frying pan.
  • Saucepan to cook the noodles if using dried.

Recipe Method:

  • . Heat the cooking oil in the small wok/small frying pan to 180°C ready to fry the fish.
  • Meanwhile, add a sprinkle of sea salt and half a teaspoon of Chinese 5 Spice to the breadcrumbs then coat the fish in the breadcrumbs and leave to one side – the natural moisture on the fish should be enough to make the breadcrumbs stick but if not you can add a little oil to the fish first.
  • Heat the large wok over a high heat and add the ground nut oil. Add all the vegetables and stir. Then add the soy sauce, fish sauce, half a teaspoon of Chinese 5 Spice and a tablespoon of water.
  • Whilst the vegetables are cooking, cook the noodles (if dried) and then add them to the wok and mix well with the vegetables using two forks and tossing like a salad.
  • Fry the breaded fish in two batches for 5 minutes each batch or until the breadcrumbs have turned golden, ensuring the fish is cooked through. Drain the fish on some paper towel.
  • Serve the vegetable noodles into a bowl, followed by the fried fish and then drizzle the sesame oil and sweet chilli sauce over the top. Sprinkle with freshly chopped coriander and enjoy!
